Raiders in discussions with Greg Hardy

[Frank Hollywood]

I always thought Hardy was gone but if the market for him is getting smaller and the price is dropping, why not scoop him up on a 2 year 6 mil a year type deal? If it gets that low of course.

If he stays out of trouble youd have the option to re-sign him or CJ which is a bonus.

I'm trying to remember the last time there was a player the Raiders wouldn't touch.

I had a feeling he might have a rough time in the post Ray Rice atmosphere, but it's starting to sound like it might be even harder than I thought.

Maybe things will change after the word comes down on his suspension from the Commissioner.

I thought they were going to have that figured out before the start of FA?

Is there a chance he doesn't get signed?

I mean even vet minimum? That sounds crazy

They've told him the Exempt List doesn't stop him from signing a contract, but the verdict on his suspension is still on hold.

That's hard to imagine.

But full disclosure, I thought he'd already be signed by now, so...

That's what I thought as well.

Great for them.  His is a world class player and will do them well.  Stoopid of the Panthers to let him get away.

Nice to see the posts of so many "football fans" who obviously have paid no attention to the change in the Raiders organization since Al Davis passed.

 

You guys are still stuck in the what the Raiders were years ago.

They said no thanks.

It seems teams are gathering info on him and deciding not to persue him.

Please goto OAK.  I do not want him in our division and well if he wants to get paid then yes he goes to OAK.  After one huge payday, 13.1 million plus playoff bonuses, and you can not survive and your motivation is still only money and not championships I'm not sure how long that motor will go.  I love Hardy and so wish he would have came back to us but it is what it is now.  I wish him luck and always up for giving people second chances.  KEEP POUNDING!!!!!

Al Davis has been gone almost 4 years and they are on their 3rd head coach....not much has really changed.

The beat goes on...

Hardy a Cowboy?!? Goodell will make his decision really fast now.

He seems to be running out of options honestly.  The Raiders made it clear they aren't purusing Hardy, straight from owner Mark Davis's mouth.  http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/70685/greg-hardy-to-raiders-doesnt-look-like-it

 

The Jaguars state they aren't interested http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/164245/jaguars-unlikely-to-pursue-greg-hardy

 

The 49ers, Falcons, and a few other teams have stated they aren't interested.  Hardy might have trouble finding a home.  He will definitely be on a roster - he's too talented not to be, but it might be a one year "prove it" deal, ala Dave Gettleman, albeit not in Carolina.

 

I thought the Bengals were a solid landing spot for him given their track record of signing talented players with off-field issues and turning their careers around, but they brought back Michael Johnson so that seems unlikely now.  I think Tampa Bay is still a strong consideration.  Or we might see a huge surprise and see someone like the Bears sign him.  He did play for John Fox for a year...
